Shadow Sneak Effect

Shadow Sneak In-Game.jpg

Has the user cast a shadow in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it hits. After the shadow hits an opposing Pokémon or travels its maximum distance, the user warps to the shadow’s location and deals damage to nearby opposing Pokémon. This also makes the boost count increase.

How to Use Shadow Sneak

Great Early Game Damage

Shadow Sneak is a great offensive tool in the early game. Make sure to use it to either chip away your enemies' HP or steal wild Pokemon from them.

Don't Overextend

Always be careful when diving targets when using Shadow Sneak, making sure you don't overextend and end up getting punished for your aggression.

Traverse Walls

You can use Shadow Sneak to traverse walls, allowing you to escape from your enemies or dive them from one side of the wall. This is extremely useful when playing as a jungler.
